Tue, 21 May 2013 10:53:51 +0000http://www.northplattepost.com/?p=43991#comment-113591RFS “Renewable Fuel Standards” a federal policy requiring ethanol to be blended in gasoline at annually increasing amounts. Also, by the way, increasing the price of food at 28% higher than the rate of inflation. Also, ethanol only has 2/3 the energy of gasoline, therefore, “watering down” gasoline with ethanol produces less miles per gallon than it “decreases” the price of fuel. Ever put e-85 in your vehicle? Just how good of mileage do you get? But I am sure you already know this…..you just don’t want the consumer to.

I guess mandating 20% ethanol in gasoline isn’t a “subsidy”. just because you overproduce, and have nowhere to go with it, the gov. mandates the new “mix ratios”. no matter the fact its harder on your engine, and ethanol is a “net BTU” loser. Sounds like a great deal to me ! I guess its great if you’re in the ethanol business tho !

The ethanol industry is no longer subsidized and the newer technology plants are making great profits right now. This plant was an older inefficient plant….

I told everyone 5-10 years ago it wouldn’t take long for all these plants to become scrap stainless steel. Looks like this is one of many closing or already closed.
